Why I have chosen this book?

The reason why I have chosen this book is because that I wanted to continue to read the book series. Before I've read Catching Fire, I had chosen The Hunger Games, which is the first book of the series. I really wanted to know what happened in this book, because one of my friends spoiled a bit for me about the Games in a tropical beach and I was determined to read it. I also wanted to know how Katniss will cope the pressure of the Capitol and her memories from her Games. And last but not least, I wanted to read the romance between Peeta, Katniss and Gale...

Reading Log No.7

Katniss entering the arena in the new movie, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
(This is a GIF, this counts as a picture.)

- I have less than a minute to get my bearings. Then the gong will sound and the tributes will be free to move off their metal plates. But move where? I can't think straight. The image of Cinna, beaten and bloody consumes me. Where is he now?... ( Katniss is terrified of what happened to Cinna).

I think that it's really unfair of President Snow by torturing Cinna before Katniss enters the Games, which make her scared. After all he did to her, I don't think that Katniss will forgive Snow. I think it's really intense how she comes up to the arena, as I said in the earlier posts, the book describes really good which gives me the adrenaline which Katniss is having. I think I know how Snow was thinking, I think that if he torture Cinna in front of Katniss, she will die quicker. I really wish that Katniss will have her revenge...

Reading Log No.6

- I am going back into the arena. (Katniss thinking about Snow's announcement of the 75th Hunger Games.

The author of this book really knows how to shock a person to death. I feel really sorry for Katniss, because it was only a year ago when she fought really hard in the Games and now being forced to go back in. I think that Snow's problem hasn't been solve and that the only way to have it his way is to take her off, by sending her to the arena, with the other previous victors. But, if she gets killed in the Arena, wouldn't it make it alot worse? I mean, people sees her as the face of a revolution, if you suddenly take her off, wouldn't the people go to war with the Capitol. What Snow is doing is like poking a beehive with a stick...

Favourite Characters

My favourite characters in this book is Katniss and Cinna. First of all, when I read this book, I can feel her emotions and it's like if I was in her position. I see that Katniss is lost when everyone is relying to do the "right" thing, when she only wants to protect her family. I really love how Katniss show her courage when she gets furious, she's the spark which is left to be a inferno.

Cinna is the most friendliest person in this book, he makes one of a kind costume for Katniss which she describes beautifully and before the Games started, both Katniss and Cinna had a moment for their selves and that he is betting on her to win. Of all the characters in books I have read, I think these two characters are the best.

Reading Log No.5

The Mockingjay pin from the movie, The Hunger Games.

- At the sight of it I realize I never got a full explanation of the bird on the cracker and what it signifies. (Katniss thinking about the women she met in the woods, Bonnie and Twill, both from District 8).

 I never knew that a small pin could mean something big within the districts and is the code for the rebellion group. At first, Katniss wanted to take the pin with her into the Game, as her remembrance of her people in her district. But, this pin also won Rue's trust for Katniss and they made an alliance together, but when she dies, Katniss puts flowers around her to show everyone that she isn't a piece of their Games. When everyone was watching this, I think that the people gave it's meaning that the one who has the mockingjay sign, is against the Capitol, that's what I think...

Reading Log No.4

- Did I do it? Was it enough? Was giving everything over to you keeping up in the game, promising to marry Peeta enough? In answer, he gives an almost imperceptible shake of his head. (Katniss at the President's mansion)

 Well I think that he is insane, if she didn't get any help from President Snow, then of course her mission to persuade the districts will fail. I really want to know why he has done that, if he asks Katniss to help him calm down the districts, why won't he help her? He has actually the power of everything. It's like if he want her to fail...

Reading Log No.3

- I nod. He means there's only one future, if I want to keep those I love alive and stay alive myself. I'll have to marry Peeta. (Katniss and Haymitch, her mentor during the Games, having a conversation about Snow's threat).

I think that Katniss made a mistake here, I really understand why she has done chosen to do this but I don't think this will solve anything. This is because that, if Peeta and Katniss were to marry each other, only the Capitol will fall for it but not the districts. This news isn't that big them, but when Katniss pulled out those berries, that's what made them convinced that there is still hope for freedom. I think that this will make a big problem later in the book...
